don't get me started on this issue...Well, you have already...   Your problem begins here at Edmund's; not at the Dealership....   Edmund's has refused, and continues to refuse to post accurate pricing for Volkswagen. For an organization dedicated to helping consumers, this stubbornness has caused consumers, like yourself, a less than satisfactory sales experience...   The variations in the numbers are as follows: Port Prep = $25.00 FloorPlan Interest Reserve = $92.00   Total = $117.00   These two fees are charged to every Dealer, for every car, in every state, Coast to Coast.   Advertising Fees which can range from $0 - $150 & are discussed in fine print somewhere at the bottom of a page here. Sad, also is the fact that TMV cannot Really take into account Current Market Conditions with any actual authority, because that can change in a day...Case in point...VW is Sold-Out of 4MO Wagons...I would bet, and I have not gone there to look that you will find a TMV that rests somewhere between *their Invoice* & MSRP...Good Luck!   Passat Invoice is $23,553...you will immediately notice the $117.00 difference...add maybe $150.00 for an Advertising Fee, and you get $23,7xx.00.   I am sorry that what should have been a fun & Fair purchase experience was denied you because of bad information from a source that you trust...

Edmund's Invoice A/O 12:00AM 03/16/02 $30,289.00 TMV = $30,851.00...A $2074.00 Discount on a car that you cannot even order...Not to mention the Invoice is $30,406.00!!! 2002 GLX 4MOTION VARIANT   $445.00 over Invoice...That will work???   Actual Fax copies available upon request...

The ad fee in some places is $200. Edmunds does need to include the port fee and the finance reserve, and they should highlight the part about advertising better than they do.

I think your analysis is very fair and helped me a great deal when I was negotiating for my (now aborted) Passat deal. I knew where the dealer was really starting from and made me more comfortable with the final result.
#1594 of 3318 Invoice by jskho Mar 19, 2002 (4:10 pm)
Try carsdirect.com. They include the 3 fees in the invoice they quote. It matches with the one my dealer gave me; and is about $19x above the edmunds.com invoice in my area.
#1595 of 3318 Used 1999 Passat Pricing? by dandksmith Mar 21, 2002 (7:37 am)
I am considering buying a 1999 Passat GLS Turbo Sedan. The car that I'm looking at has 83,000 miles and the dealer says that he can get the price down to just under $10,000. I have a few open questions for anybody who currently owns a Passat or is knowledgeable about them: What do you think of the price? I know 83,000 miles is a lot, so does anybody know how many miles I can expect to run up before the whole car just gives up on me? How well does the AutoStick thing work? How fast does this car depreciate? Thanks to anybody with more information. . .

That sounds like a fair number. I have seen 98's with 150k on them back in service. All of our techs agree, the Passat is the best built VW. (Its the only one still built in Germany)
#1597 of 3318 Is this a good deal? by lwentzell Mar 23, 2002 (9:20 pm)
I went to a dealer to deal on a 2002 GLX Passat (not on the lot but available by dealer trade). They quoted 28950 + T,T,L and 199 processing fee. This is 1,000 over invoice and according to Edmunds this is higher than the TMV in my area (Nashville, TN) What killed the deal was the offer for my trade-in, a 97 Mazda 626 ES. The car is in clean condition with 52,300 and loaded with all the options. Edmunds and KBB indicates the trade in should be around 8,000. They offered 6,500. They would not negotiate, I decided to look around for a better deal.   Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks
